Why Living in France Can Cost Half as Much! With Adrian Leeds

Love this content, but... "If you live in a little village you WILL need a car.' (??) NOPE! Absolutely NOT! I live in a little village 60 kilometers up into the Pyrénées from Perpignan. I take the public bus that comes through every hour to Ceret or Le Boulou to go shopping several times a week, I can be in Perpignan in 50 minutes. And that bus costs ONE euro for a 2-hour trip anywhere you're going, with transfers included. I can be at the beach in on one hour, for ONE euro. I can be at the nearest ski station in about an hour and 20 minutes, for ONE euro. And EVERYONE takes the bus, it's not scary or dangerous like in most of the US. Going to Barcelona (the nearest huge city) costs about 30 euros. I really only do that when I'm picking up an american relative from the airport or when I have to go to IKEA, lol.

I enjoyed getting this helpful, new to me info. Adrian is such an informative & vivacious speaker. I'm now thinking of moving to France.

Excellent video!! Thank you. I appreciate being a participant in this webinar. Merci!!! Dean & Cindy

LOVE YOUR CONTENT ADRIAN, AND HOPE TO MEET YOU IN FRANCE ASAP!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

Adrian knows everything - greatly appreciate her help and insights. Valuable!

Thank you for all the valuable information. What a great team! You definitely are the expert Adrian.

Thanks you! This was a great call. Super helpful on how to navigate the possibility of living (part time) in France. Looking forward to contacting you about properties.

Super helpful, thank you!

Made my day!

Yes if moved like me in 2003 away from the Versailles into the breton countryside of the Morbihan 56. And I kept my car can't live without it my second home on the road all over Europe just back from Spain! Cheers

Superb!

Thank you

Have to add we're are in both Nice & California, and in condos for both thus it's easy for us to draw price comparisons to property taxes, HOA dues, residential wifi/telephone etc. Our french-costs experience is aligns very closely to the figures she outlines -- spot on! It is indeed a fraction of the price in France --- Thanks for the recording!

Thank you ladies, and Ms Adrian , its super encouraging to hear that presentation w lots of tips and advice. My wife and I’ve got to make the plans and act by early 2025. I wonder if the retirees really ditch Medicare as they opt for French system or end up paying for both…

This is cool I’m a bilingual Quebecois of British grandparents and I live in French here everyday in L’ile Perrot Quebec ( near Montreal) I’ve spent some time in Toulouse and Castelnaudry and it was nice to go somewhere so different and speak the language. It was great.

Great video! A spouse of an EU citizen that is a US citizen can merely show up in France under the “90 days in 180” visa-free visitor program, and then once in France - within the 90 days, of course - can apply for a residence visa. This is different from everyone else who must apply for a long-stay visa BEFORE entering France. Even the official French visa website confirms this.

This video was great! I have a special place in my heart for France and are considering it as a retirement destination in the next 5-7 yers. And 67 Euros for an ambulance ride???? With trained medical professionals on board monitoring your condition along the way??? I pay more than that for an Uber ride 20 miles to the airport here in the US! And I have to open the trunk and put my luggage in myself!

We are struggling here in the USA. Me and my daughter struggle financially and can barely make ends meet. We moved last May into low income housing and now our vehicle's transmission has went out so no vehicle. I am disabled and the Kats bus system is so run down and the buses and routes are cut down. I have to bus, bike, walk everywhere as a physically disabled person. I can bike really well but once my arthritis and knee swells and semi locks up I can barely bike or walk to get around. I would rather be on my bike than on the bus. I live on SSI and the little child support I get. We can barely keep food in the apartment too as they cut out our government assistance. I can't afford to save up for another vehicle even a well used one. I do not have a good quality of life here as a disabled person. I wouldn't know how to start or where to get help to relocate. I have many doctors and specialists here and am on lots of medications and wonder how I would be able to make it and survive in France or Italy or even Rome. Am still considering though. I am 52 and my teenager is 16. She will move out soon at least after 18 so I am wondering how it would even happen.

Cafe Charlot, a fav

I am nearly 2 years from retirement. I recently got the hourly rate for Leeds agency services which is pretty high. Is there any bulk rates for your services?
